Sobriety checkpoint today in southern Butte County

OROVILLE — The Oroville office of the California Highway Patrol will have a sobriety checkpoint this evening in southern Butte County.

The checkpoint will be between 5 p.m. and midnight.

The roadways targeted will include those with high numbers of impaired drivers. The exact location was not included in the press release.

"We would also like to remind the public that "buzzed driving is drunk driving," the press releases states, "and that depending on your body weight and level of tolerance, as little as two mixed drinks, two glasses of wine or two beers could place you in jeopardy of being arrested if you are operating a motor vehicle," the press release advises.
